True, but I buy AirBnB specifically for things that you can’t get in a hotel.
An entire villa with pool in Tuscany. An apartment with a kitchen. A flat with the view of Acropolis in Athens (maybe you can get that in a hotel, but you can never be sure lest they rebook you to a different room.)
- TylerE 3y agoAt least in the US, those sort of places don't really exist, or if they do the pricing is outrageous (like $1000+/night). Suite/extended stay hotels with full kitchens are fairly common here, too.
- CamperBob2 3y agoAt least in the US, those sort of places don't really exist, or if they do the pricing is outrageous (like $1000+/night). Not true in the slightest. This place ( https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/48299044 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/48299044 ) was an incredible bargain the last time I was in Scottsdale for a couple of weeks, even at $220/night + fees.
- TylerE 3y agoScottsdale is not Tuscany.
- CamperBob2 3y agoAnd Tuscany isn't in the US. For stays of a couple of days, I'll generally stick with hotels, but for anything longer than a week hotels are pointlessly expensive for what you get.
- FireBeyond 3y agoI saw $220/night for that place plus fees on the listing, but the moment I selected any non weekday it jumped to $402/night + fees. Fees which amount to an additional $507 for a 3 night stay ($295 cleaning, $212 for AirBnB). All in, my stay is $1,900 for 3 night. $633/night. Might not be $1,000 a night, but definitely not as bargain-ish as you make it out to be. https://imgur.com/3dJOGNn https://imgur.com/3dJOGNn
- CamperBob2 3y agoYeah, the fixed fees make it less attractive when staying only a few nights (hence my other comment). I'd challenge you to find anything like that in a hotel property, at pretty much any price.
